Trump’s actions are illegal – but his greed may hold him ... The absurd logic of Trump’s actions is that other countries are free to indict whoever they wish in another land, abduct them and then put them on trial

Martti Koskenniemi: "Das Völkerrecht existiert, solange wir daran glauben" Ist mit der Entführung Maduros das Völkerrecht am Ende? Keinesfalls, sagt der Jurist Martti Koskenniemi. Und im Falle Grönlands könne es noch sehr nützlich werden.

Defense Minister Pistorius warned in the Bundestag that any forced Ukrainian capitulation would only strengthen Putin and encourage other autocrats. He outlined three core principles for peace: no unilateral territorial concessions, a strong Ukrainian military backed by real security guarantees.

In February, 1944, the British and ourselves reopened negotiations
with the Swiss to obtain still further reductions in their exports to Ger¬
many. The Swiss Government, however, strongly resisted all our efforts
and engaged in delaying tactics.
With these negotiations still in course, I called in the Swiss Minister,
Charles Bruggmann, on July 14. After emphasizing the traditional and
inherently friendly relations between our peoples and Governments, I said
I had already discovered that some of the countries listed as neutral did
not seem clearly to appreciate the serious situation of countries like the
United States. We, I pointed out, were losing thousands of lives, we had
8,000,000 armed men fighting on all battle fronts, we were spending
$200,000,000,000, and we were supplying Great Britain and Russia to an
enormous extent.
“It’s not unnatural,” I said, “that Swiss businessmen should ask the
intercession of their Government with ours so as to retain as much trade
with the Axis as possible. I saw this happen to a great extent during the
First World War, and I’ve seen it happen in this war. The Swedes pleaded
with tears in their eyes for some time against what they regarded as
excessive requests of the Allied nations to limit ever more the Swedish
exports to Germany. Their main argument was the possible loss of coal
from Germany, whereupon we suddenly discovered that they had coal on
hand to keep them supplied for a year.
“When the United States is losing lives right and left and is spend¬
ing enormous sums of money because of neutral aid to the enemy primarily
in order to gratify some businessmen, the question becomes most serious
to this country.”

Conservative legal luminary Jack Goldsmith points out that Justice Barrett's opinion in the universal injunction case rests on an error: For the purposes of historical analysis, she looked at the wrong statute and got the relevant date wrong by nearly *a century.*

Vielen Dank, bin gespannt auf die eingehende Lektüre, aber den Widerspruch zur aktuelleren Rspr. kann ich nicht erkennen. Die Konfrontation radikaler Meinungen dürfte die Anhänger beider Seiten bestätigen. Es fehlt eher an vermittelnden Positionen. Das ist aber stark wertungsabhängig.
